Cleaning the inlet hose filter
The washer has two water inlet filters to
protect each inlet valve. Check and
clean these filters every 6 months. This
may have to be done more frequently
with some water supplies.
Cleaning the inlet hose filters
^
Turn off the water supply.
^
Unscrew the inlet hose from the valve
by turning the connector
counterclockwise, use a wrench if
necessary.
^
Remove the rubber seal,

, from the
connector.
^
Using needle nose pliers, grasp the
plastic filter,
2
, and pull it out of the
hose connector.
^
Clean the filter under running water
and carefully remove any large
particles.
^
Replace the filter and seal and
reconnect the hose.
^
Slowly turn on the water supply and
check for leaks. If water leaks, tighten
the hose connection.
Cleaning the filter in the inlet valve
^
Using pliers carefully loosen and
remove the plastic hose connector
from the inlet valve.
Using needle nose pliers, remove the
plastic filter by pulling on the bar (see
illustration). Rinse under running water
and return. Replace the filter and seal,
then reconnect the hose.
Both filters
must
be put back in
place after cleaning.
